Howard had 4 rebounds. Idk how you can like what you saw from anyone but Kobe and maybe Clark at times. Our team has a complete moron as coach and we live and die by the 3 when we have Dwight Howard

My next post right after said

"I just really hate that they keep outrebounding us. Tonight 45-32, including 15-8 on offensive boards.

I think Dwight always has bad rebounding performances against them, 8 last time, 4 today. But that probably has a lot to do with him helping on penetration. Leat Pau pulled down 13, Kobe had 7, Blake had 6. Dwight had 4. But I'm not gonna take away from a night he hit a lot of free throws and he had 4 blocks."

"Bryant had come to rage against the idea that Howard's clownish disposition could overtake the locker room, the Lakers' culture, and had warned Howard that he would never, ever let it happen."

And beating Memphis, Indiana without Kobe, and OKC show we can be successful.

Go home

OKC is a different matchup and saying we couldn't beat the generals makes you a panicer.

Win 3 in a row, we have a chance, lose one, we lose to the generals.

I think we are something like 6-17 against the teams that will be playing in the playoffs from the Western conference (not counting the Jazz or Dallas into this equation). So yes, we can be beat them, though we lose at a clip of almost 3 to 1. Like I have said in most of my replies lately, these are just hard numbers compiled over an entire season of play, so take them how you'd like.

We'ce beat the Warriors twice, beaten Houston(other two times we didn't have our full lineups), OKC(everytime they've beat us we didn't have a full lineup) Clippers have beaten us, Spurs beat us by 1 without our full lineup and coaching switch, we beat the Grizzlies, beaten Denver.

We've beaten every team above us this year except the Clippers and the Spurs. We get a chance to rectify the Spurs one this month.
